What a great fishing season so far-Wrightsville Beach, NC Fishing Report
Redfish fishing has been fairly good the last couple of weeks, but one thing Ive discovered is the weekdays have had far more constancy of great Redfishing because of to all the fishing stress on the weekends. I have observed some really great Reds lately coming kind some shallow h2o spots, my consumers this final week have caught some Reds around thirty two inches inshore. Individuals are some great Reds for early May possibly in shallow h2o and on very light tackle. Utilizing greater baits has paid off for me in the previous two weeks with these greater fish starting to bite.
One particular of the winners for me in the final few weeks for the Reds has been the Berkley Gulp Ripple Mullet, now I know I chat about this bait a whole lot hey it performs! Fantastic swimming action and the proven fishing catching scent of Berkley Gulp! The colors I choose in the Ripple Mullet are rootbeer gold/chart tail, goby magic chart tail, new penny and pearl white for the Redfish. Rig these baits on a red, black, brown or gray jig head with a thirty to fifty pound mono or fluorocarbon leader and you are great to go! Ive never ever been a huge person of spoons for Redfish, but Ive been taking part in with a new spoon recently, properly new to me at least. The spoon is a product of Sébile and its named an Onduspoon let me inform you this spoon has received some action! Ive caught some extremely wonderful Reds and Chopper Blues on this spoon in the final handful of weeks. The Onduspoon has rattles built in to it great action and sound. The shades I choose are gold, all-natural shiner, blue althea and red head check out them out at www.sebile.com
If you would fairly go with the live/cut bait root for the Redfish, there is lots on bait around modest mullet and menhaden are in most of the regional creeks. The days Ive caught bait, a single cast of my internet has yielded plenty bait for the day. Light Carolina rigs with an Eagle Claw L 42 #1 or one/ hook and twelve to sixteen inches of forty pound mono for leader as a rig. Fishing creek mouths, oyster rock edges and marsh grass lines will produce Redfish for you. Just keep in mind fresh lively baits will catch far more fish!
There has been just about all the Bluefish you want around the inlets lately and a great amount of Spanish mackerel exhibiting up as nicely. Trolling Clark spoons and modest deep driver lures has been the crucial to good results. Clark spoons in measurements #, #00 and #one in colours silver, gold and pink flash seem to be to work the very best. Thirty or forty pound apparent mono leader will perform just fine and dont neglect the ball bearing swivels for people Clark spoons to keep you leaders from tingling up! There have been a few great Chopper (even bigger) Blues close to the inlets in the final number of weeks casting greater lures like the Onduspoon #3 or shallow h2o crank baits will locate these even bigger Blues. Just remembers a light steal leader for these fish for they will bite appropriate through mono leaders.
Flounder fishing is genuinely picking up all around the location. Most of the Flounder are eating little menhaden and Mud minnows on light Carolina rigs. The Flounder are mixed in dimensions to just under keeper dimension to a few more than 5 lbs. I have caught some Flounder on Artificial baits as effectively. I have had the very best luck with Berkley Gulp mud minnow in pearl white, sardine, killifish and new penny shades. Rig the grubs on a red or black jig head for very best benefits. Flounder fishing ought to keep constant correct by means of the summer time and drop.
Last but in no way lest Cobia are commencing to demonstrate up close to the area waters. I appear for Cobia about inlets, shoals and bait schools near shore/offshore reefs and ledges are also a good spot to appear as well. With the h2o currently being so distinct it has been easier to see individuals brown logs in the h2o. We are throwing big jigs, swim baits and reside bait to the Cobia. Coloration really does not appear to subject but go bright! When Im not sight casting for them, we are fishing all around inlets, shoals and close to shore artificial reefs. I float fish, bottom fish and kite fish in these places with reside menhaden, blues and mullet as bait. You can chum if you like, but the sharks will arrive and they will come in numbers!
